Wolverine Video Review

Goodfellas is a classic!

If you haven't seen "Goodfellas," than stop whatever your doing and rent/buy it.
This Martin Scorsese classic is what gangster movies are all about. Forget "Scarface,"
that film gets way too much credit when this film really plays off amazing performances
and an untouchable screenplay. Here's a clip for your viewing pleasure.

Bad Movies, Make Good Money!

Has the American moviegoer lost his/her mind. These big studios are producing crap and you are eating it up. Let's talk about Box Office Numbers in the month of April.

FAST AND FURIOUS
B.O.Opening Weekend: $71 Million
Rotten Tomatoes Score: 27%
17 AGAIN
B.O.Opening Weekend: $24 Million
Rotten Tomatoes Score: 54%
OBSESSED
B.O. Opening Weekend: $28 Million
Rotten Tomatoes: 32%

The numbers don't lie, people are spending their money on terrible films. "Fast and Furious," I get it they took a couple of "The's" out of the title and they make you think something is different this time around. "17 Again," Zac Efron in a "Freaky Friday/Big" type formula that won't die."Obsessed" surprised me the most because of the lack of star power. Ali Larter most known for "Heroes"and the amazing Idris Elba "who gave The Wire intelligence and class," headline the film. The film received poor reviews and Peter Travers called it "crazy-ass awful." So why did this film make $28 Million coming out of the gate. Was it the 30 second TV spots that highlights the inevitable cat fight in the film? Was it Beyonce's star power? Doubtful because Cadillac Records made about two quarters. My opinion is that people are going to the movies knowing exactly what they are going to get. Fast and Furious gives people; fast cars, half naked women and an explosion or two. 17 Again, gives you Zac Efron doing a few age jokes and Matthew Perry for about 10 minutes. Which leads us to "Obsessed," basically a cat fight at the end. With ticket prices reaching $12, people aren't willing to be surprised or moved by a film anymore. During Oscar season people were passing on films like "The Wrestler" and "Frost/Nixon" for "Paul Blart:Mall Cop." There is no explaining it. Films like "The Soloist" and "State of Play" with superb acting are getting edged out by movies whose depths are reached in the TV commercials. With Summer upon us I hope to see some good movies on their way. I think "Star Trek" and "Terminator Salvation" will impress while "Wolverine" will disappoint.

New NINJA TURTLES Revamp!

If you're anything like me than the "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles", were a big deal when you were a kid. You had the toys, you hated shredder and the movies were replayed over and over at your house on the weekends. 2007 gave you an animated version of TMNT, that didn't do it for most fans. Now, I know it's only been a few years but since Hollywood has run out of original ideas, it's time for a new version. This time our beloved Turtles will be live-action and hoping to guarantee a franchise. I am excited about this and hope they case someone great to be the Shredder and Splinter. I hope you are as excited as I am.

Other Hollywood revamps and remakes on the way.
Clash of the Titans (Neeson vs Fiennes)
Nightmare on Elm Street
Straw Dogs
Superman
Fantastic Four ( I know right)
and wait for it..... The Karate Kid starring Jackie Chan (not as the kid)

Jamie Foxx Rips on Miley Cyrus.

Jamie Foxx is on a publicity tour for his new movie "The Soloist," and took some time out of his day to rant about Miley Cyrus. Foxx has always been very funny and this time it's better than usual. I don't understand why some people will feel sorry for Miley, when she's just another celebrity making crappy movies and music. Go see THE SOLOIST in theaters April 24th.
